Mindo Chocolate Makers spans two countries, two continents, and more than 3,000 miles, giving community a much bigger meaning. At Mindo, community includes anyone and everyone who comes into contact with their raw ingredients and those who enjoy the products.

Jose Meza and Barbara Wilson turned from auto repair shop owners in Dexter to unique “bean-to-bar” chocolate makers in 2009. Since the beginning of Mindo, they have been in pursuit of making the most delicious finished chocolate possible.

Creating small-batch, craft chocolate demands great cocoa beans. Mindo starts with one of the finest in the world: heirloom Arriba Nacional cacao, from Mindo, Ecuador. Their process begins as soon as the cocoa beans are harvested from trees. Working directly with a cooperative of organic farmers in Ecuador, they purchase only the Nacional variety, considered to be a fine-flavor, heirloom bean.

Regional and Resilient

Mindo Chocolate Makers – Dexter, Michigan

Jose and Barbara split their time between Ecuador and Michigan, keeping all aspects of the business in close contact with each other – a true bean-to-bar product. Mindo is a small business that relies on great people coming together - growers, employees, customers - to create and enjoy delicious chocolate.
